GARC provided ongoing support to the local animal health professionals working across the Kongo Central Province with the rolled-out of the Bite Case Tracker (BCT) and Rabies Case Surveillance (RCS) tools to improve data reporting and outbreak response.
Rabies Elimination Progress
The Stepwise Approach towards Rabies Elimination (SARE) is a practical planning, monitoring and evaluation tool to guide, develop and refine rabies control programmes. It provides measurable steps, designed as a logical flow of activities, to progress from Stage 0 to Stage 5, in efforts towards freedom from dog-transmitted rabies.
A SARE score of 1.5 out of 5 signifies a country where small-scale rabies control programs are in place and the country is working towards developing a national rabies control program
